Augmented Reality - Future Uses

In the future continued development of AR will result in some very life changing applications for people all over the world in all walks of life. Some applications may cause problems and raise issues on privacy and information being freely available. But mostly the applications will aid everyday life and become a social norm.

The technology could benefit the sight impaired by using text to speech technology to convey information gathered about the immediate environment from their Smartphone's such as location and directions to shops or overall assistance with navigating their immediate environment which one day could mean the need for guide dogs and/or carers is redundant. Giving the user a new found independence, therefore a much better quality of life.
